Crude oil significantly impacts the global economy by driving energy production, influencing transportation costs, and shaping international trade dynamics. As a primary energy source, fluctuations in oil prices can lead to economic instability for oil-dependent nations and affect consumer prices worldwide. Additionally, the oil industry generates substantial revenue and employment opportunities, but reliance on fossil fuels can hinder investment in renewable energy and contribute to environmental degradation. Overall, crude oil is a double-edged sword, fueling economic growth while also posing sustainability challenges.
